Yesterday was just so wet, wet, wet, and Little Willie didn't feel like getting her wheels all muddy, so she refused to start let alone venture out of her nice, warm workshop! Today being quite fine, with some reluctance, she 'coughed' into life and we went out for a run into town. Then we went as far as Hughie's garage where Eddie was trying to work out how to lift the bonnet of a small Citroen car. "Carnt mearke ut out!" he told me, "that dunt seen t'hev a bonnut release catch what orl the others do!In fact, it did have a release catch, but not in the usual position just under the bonnet. It was under a grill, set into the bonnet, as I discovered when my hand just seemed to slip in there...! "Blarst, boy," Hughie told me, "you'd mearke a hoolly good mechanic, you would!"Not wishing to get my hands mucky, I made my excuses and left (it was near elevenses time), but my Little Willie wasn't so keen, and took three kicks to be persuaded!
